That’s right, and these are the good ones, and you’re gonna want to gran one of these because once they’re gone, they’re gone! So let’s get into it.
#11 - Storm infinite physix bowling ball
Coming in at #11 – Storm Infinite Bowling Ball.
The Infinite PhysiX is destined to get the bowling world’s attention. When you craft vivacity with the same detail you craft performance, you create the Storm Premier Line. They’re more than mere bowling balls. They deliver motion with style. Entry angle with carry. We wouldn’t let it leave our proving grounds if it were any other way. Born from a place of refinement and obsessively honed on the lanes, they come from somewhere else – so they feel like nothing else
#10 - Storm Super Nova Bowling Ball
Coming in at #10 – Storm Super Nova Bowling Ball.
The Super Nova is extraordinary by design. Showcasing the new and dynamically intense Ignition Core, the Super Nova features a tour-inspired design that enables better versatility on a wider array of oil patterns.
Weight blocks like the Ignition Core rev up fast and finish strong with a more aggressive movement down lane. Need some extra oomph? Then look no further. The Ignition Core pumps out more than 6” of loaded flare potential! That’s more than enough differential to amp your adrenaline levels.
#9 - Storm Night Road Bowling Ball
Next in at #9 – Storm Night Road Bowling Ball.
Bowlers are always in search of balls that provide them with enough traction to control the front part of the lane without sacrificing strong hooking motion and entry angle on the back end. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Hy-Road balls have been immensely popular as they have dominated medium to lighter patterns the world over for more than twelve years now.
But sometimes a bit more power is needed to get the job done, and when that is the case, you deserve nothing but the best. With that in mind, we’re bringing you a new Night Road that will be the gold standard when a stronger move to the pocket is needed.
#8 - Roto Grip RST X-3 Bowling Ball
Up next in at #8 – Roto Grip RST X-3 Bowling Ball.
Formulated for ALL bowlers regardless of their style or their skill level. The latest installment in the RST Series provides WAY more mid-lane motion than the RST X-2, while still providing PLENTY of giddy up down lane.
#7 - Roto Grip Rubicon UC3 Bowling Ball
Coming in at #7 – Roto Grip Rubicon UC3 Bowling Ball.
The Rubicon™ UC3 (Ultimate Concept 3) takes Tour Level performance to a whole new level. We first focused on core specifics and decided that the mildly asymmetric Rondure™ Core was the ideal core shape in order to generate adequate flare.
From there we engineered the Tour-ethane™ Pearl coverstock to maximize performance and control on those higher friction patterns and lane surfaces. This core and urethane cover combination changes the game!
#6 - Roto Grip Idol Cosmos Bowling Ball
Next at #6 – Roto Grip Idol Cosmos Bowling Ball.
Originally introduced in the IDOL™ back in March of 2018, the Ikon Core has become a fan favorite and staple in the arsenals of all the top professionals around the globe.
This low RG, high differential symmetrical core revs up in the midlane while providing outstanding continuation down lane which allows it to be used by all styles of players from any angle on the lane.
#5 - Roto Grip Hustle Wine Bowling Ball
Coming in at #5 – Roto Grip Hustle Wine Bowling Ball.
Built to provide performance for both the novice bowler and the advanced bowler, the Hustle Line of balls serves as the standard in which all other entry level balls are compared.
So, whether you are looking to get your very first ball or looking to get a ball to fill out your arsenal for those lighter conditions, have no fear, the Hustle Line is here!
#4 - Roto Grip Hustle Camo Bowling Ball
In at #4 – Roto Grip Hustle Camo Bowling Ball.
Built to provide performance for both the novice bowler and the advanced bowler, the Hustle Line of balls serves as the standard in which all other entry level balls are compared.
So, whether you are looking to get your very first ball or looking to get a ball to fill out your arsenal for those lighter conditions, have no fear, the Hustle Line is here!
#3 - 900 Global Wolverine Dark Moss Bowling Ball
Coming in at #3 – 900 Global Wolverine Dark Moss Bowling Ball.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the woods…the Wolverine™ Dark Moss attacks!! Featuring the incredibly versatile S70™ Pearl Cover with an all new finish, this animal will handle more oil than its predecessor while not sacrificing any backend.
The Lacerate 2.0™ Core is the premier weight block within the Global line for moving in and opening your angles. Max backend never looked so good.
#2 - 900 Global Zen Soul Bowling Ball
Next in at #2 – 900 Global Zen Soul Bowling Ball.
For the first time ever, the revolutionary S77 Response™ Cover is offered in a hybrid form!! The blend of solid and pearl elements will give you the reliability of a solid combined with the aggressiveness of a pearl.
Paired with the massive and dynamic Meditate™ symmetric core, the Zen Soul™ will expand upon the one of a kind shape that people have come to expect from the Zen line.Zen Soul…the best of both worlds.
#1 - 900 Global Reality Check Bowling Ball
And finally, rounding out the 11 discontunued bowling balls at #1 – 900 Global Reality Check Bowling Ball.
The ALL NEW S84 Beta Hybrid Cover was designed to complement the S84 Response Cover. This revolutionary material reduces the microscopic pore sizes while maintaining the “teeth” that its predecessor became famous for.
S84 Beta offers a similar overall hook potential versus S84 Response, but a vastly different backend shape. Paired with the Disturbance Asymmetric Core, the Reality Check will offer the most angular reaction ever for the 900 Series!!

Why Rubicon UC3 urethane is so good and it is discontinued?
The Storm Infinity and Night Road, I am glad I already have they have been demons on the allies for me, I am proud to have them in my arsenal and wouldn’t trade them for anything. I bowl a lot of tournaments and two, sometimes three leagues a year and those balls have proven themselves. My other parts of my secondary arsenal is the fantastic Wolverine and Idol, along with a few others I can brag on, they are great on different lanes as a back-up. My next purchases will most likely be Gem and Roto Grip if I can before discontinued. Other choices in my arsenal are just brand new and have not had a chance to use. Always try to figure your arsenal out, as every lane is different, and every house is different. Where some high profile balls will not work, others will, guaranteed, no matter what type of bowler you are. My arsenal consists of at least 20 balls from past and present, and each one is unique for certain alley and house conditions.
It appears we are in the same boat. I have 2 banned balls (Altered Reality and Electrify). Thankfully, none of my Hammers have been nailed, except the old 16/17 purple which I never had. The only other Storms I have are Lock and SureLock. My 900s? Let’s just say because of all this, I dropped throwing the line. I am back to Hammer specifically. Not only league but PBA50 stuff as well. They might as well put me on staff…lol
I love the rubicon UC2 and wishes I would have gotten another 14lb before they were gone
Hammer all the way
